Life Drawing

This continues to be one of our most popular classes for artists and artist-wannabes. It is a fantastic opportunity to work with a live model each week, at your own pace, in an actual art studio. There is no instruction. Easels and boards are provided.

Do you work in the community and get frustrated when you are challenged to communicate with your Spanish speaking customers or coworkers? Have you ever wanted to help find a lost child find his or her parents but a language barrier prevented you from doing so? Are you going to travel to a Spanish speaking country and need to master some basic conversational skills? Everyday Spanish will help you do all of those things and more as we explore basic communication that can make a world of a difference to you and the Spanish speaking community.
